Turbo Cardio Party 2- Again

Yay! Partying for New Year's again- with Cardio Party 2! Loving this workout! Especially now that I'm learning the moves and it's more like I'm doing a dance choreography thing instead of exercising. Love it!!!

And again- I could do it all the way through again. And so I'm REALLY happy that I'm getting the cardio fitness back. After the workout, too... I can tell I'm recovering better as well. So that is nothing bug GOOD STUFF. :-)

A weird thing though... and I used to think I must be the only one (so never mentioned it).... but at the end of the workout, when they start the Tai Chi part, I always feel like I want to tear up and cry as it starts. It's really weird. It's like I'm happy because I made it to that point. Or maybe it's the music that does it. Or a combination of them both. Or maybe it's just the spiritual power of Tai Chi or something even more "out there" than that! But anyway, it happens to me all the time, and I find it odd. But yet it's always a good feeling of that tearing up... not a bad feeling.

And then today, as I was finishing up my workout, my youngest son was watching me. I kept asking him to join me but he didn't (lol) and just watched. And then as I was doing the Tai Chi part, he says, "That music makes me want to cry."

Yikes, you too!?!? I thought I was the only one!! So there IS something about that part that move the emotions somehow! It's NOT just me and my wacky weird ways! Someone else is as moved as I am, at least! lol

Anyway, I'm not drinking enough water, but working on it. I'm not eating the most healthy things, but I'm at least trying to limit the amounts. The scale hasn't budged, and my jeans, lately- have been getting tighter. I have to just ignore that part and keep on going- because I know that EVERY time I start working out hard again after not doing much for a long time... I sort of "swell" and feel ickily big for a couple of weeks. And then the size just drops. So I'm just holding out with lots of sweatpants for the time being, and hoping that this time, it will drop again, just like before.

I have to trust- I have to trust- I have to trust- I have to trust...

And the scale always lies anyway. But the jeans thing... I have to just trust.
